lyrics

Insect Dirge

Bleed earth on a shallow tomb
The blue sky burns by casket light
Bleeding backs build the palace walls
The crop grows fuel for insect dirge
Hogtied by the raven’s curls
I drag the rocks to insect’s crown
If I burn in these four walls
I’ll bury the ash with memories

(chorus)
Lost in the dust pile
A grain is replaced
Stabbed by the hours
Open the gate and nail me to the sky

Cursed to the nightmare
Living skin is turning pale
Crack the code of the tyrant’s rules from servant’s backs
I pull the switch to drop the blade
The colors blind me
The hallowed eyes trip the wires
And burn the slaves
